How do I unlock this wrist pin?
I've got a 3.2 to 3.4 conversion with JE Pistons.
I got 5 of the 6 pistons removed and got to this one and discovered that JE forgot to put the reliefs in that you need for prying out the circlip. And the circlips are in tight. Advice? I'd rather not crack out the Dremel... Pic of JE missing reliefs (on both sides of the pin)  What I am referring to I've circled in red on this piston:

I have used a very small curved pick in one hand trying to get under the end of the circlip and a small flat blade screwdriver in the other hand for when I do get the end of the circlip lifted out of the groove. I then grab the circlip with a pair of curved, long nose pliers and remove the circlip.
 (Yes it's all done in one sentence as there is no room in there for multiple sentences.)
